    if you can get a random ball player for a guy you were going to cut, you won. Doesn't mean the other team lost, btw......
  2. Mike Sixel
    You realize almost no one hits .280 anymore, right?
  3. Mike Sixel
    I guess you could look for evidence that's the best way.....but that seems like a lot of unnecessary work to me.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Nope. There is a reason pitchers pitch on their off days, and chart pitches on their off days, and rest on their off days. I'd guess the cycle is nearly identical (within an org) for each pitcher. It's not random that they have these cycles, teams believe that this works for their players. Disrupting that by adding more batting practice, base running, fielding, etc....that's a disruption to a routine that MiLB and MLB have in place.

    clipped for space.... Good stuff. You may be right. I'll still bet on the side of them putting him on the 40 man.
  6. Mike Sixel
    That's certainly possible, do you want to be the coach that completely changes the routine of the 1:1 pick, compared to how you've prepared every other pitcher in your career as a coach?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Oops, sure, that's why I should have looked up the name!
  8. Mike Sixel
    Have you been to Alenia? Regret I never made it there (yet).
  9. Mike Sixel
    I think it was Pops, yes. Was surprised how much I liked it.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I really enjoyed the champagne bar downtown, do you like it?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Where can I find the most interesting meal/experience for food?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Do locals do all the touristy stuff, or just tourists?
  13. Mike Sixel
    They aren't leaving Stewart off teh 40 man. I'll bet any amount of money on that, barring some kind of injury or attitude thing.
  14. Mike Sixel
    He's not a professional athlete right now. His routine includes college and lots of things that it won't include when this is his job. I'm just repeating what KLAW and others have typed, that pitchers have routines. Question.....if they don't need those routines, why do all the pitchers have the same routine?

    I am tired of winning this kind of useless trade. It is nice, but doesn't move the needle. I hope Danny becomes a good player, but it wasn't working here. Moving on from him is probably good, but it didn't fix any of the real problems.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Gotta swing at the FB right down the heart of the plate in that situation. Not sure what to say about the other pitch, frankly.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Can't imagine we'll see Jay or Gonsavles in MN this year, if they won't pitch in a game until June. That's a real buzzkill.
  18. Mike Sixel
    disagree. Pitchers have routines on off days, and messing with those routines is not setting McKay up to be the most successful he can be.
  19. Mike Sixel
    that would be great!
  20. Mike Sixel
    Well, he'd been fairly successful up until now, and is only 22. Why would they have moved him? Way too soon.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I don't think anyone likes Stewart's "progress". I think people are saying he's still young, and we aren't ready to give up on him as a SP.
  22. Mike Sixel
    aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh if that is the process......
  23. Mike Sixel
    so being 2-3 years older makes it not happen?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Any actual data on that 9 out of 10 thing? HS guys get PAID in teh major league draft every single year.
  25. Mike Sixel
    you realize he dominated high A already, right? he's in AA because that's the level where he's met his challenge so far. And, he's only 22.
